Tastings on Hastings Photography by Port Macquarie Photographer Alicia Fox Tastings on Hastings is one of the highlights on the Port Macquarie calendar. This year I was thrilled to be invited to Near River Produce‘s farm west of Wauchope to photograph their renowned Meals in the Fields. This pop up dining experience presented guests with a genuine paddock to plate experience thanks to Mid North Coast chefs Carla Jones, former head chef at 4 Fourteen, and her partner, Richie Dolan, former head chef from Chiswick. Near River specialises in ethically raising a rare breed heritage pork on pasture and growing seasonal vegetables. Read More
Last week I was in Port Macquarie to photograph the launch of Energy Forever’s first 100 percent community funded and owned solar panel system at St Agnes Early Education Centre. This not-for-profit organisation has spent years rallying in the local Mid North Coast community to raise funds for this incredible project. It’s wonderful to finally see the results of their hard work. The 72 panels are split over 4 roof faces to best cover the load at the centre. The DC from the panels is converted to AC grid power. I fully support what Port Macquarie Hastings Sustainability Network and Energy Forever are doing for the community and the environment which is why I photographed the event for them on a pro-bono basis. If you have skills that you’d like to share with the organisation, get in touch via their Facebook page. To see more of my work with not for profit organisations please visit my website Read More
If you live anywhere around Port Macquarie you would have seen this smiling face in newspapers, on billboards and signs around town over the past few weeks. Everyone seems to have spotted Peta’s photo somewhere. I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Peta Pinson for her campaign for Mayor. A really genuine, kind hearted person, I’m sure she will make a great Mayor if she is voted in. It was another opportunity for me to discover more of the gorgeous, tranquil locations in our local area. We started out with a studio set up in her office in Wauchope then Peta took me to some of the beautiful locations she’d chosen around the Port Macquarie area for her location shots. We finished up as the sun turned golden over the marina in Port Macquarie. Good luck with the campaign, Peta! Read More
